Hoffman eleimination cyclic amine
« on: March 25, 2014, 12:44:42 PM »
How does one get a Hoffman elimination in a cyclic amine?
I manage acyclics fine, but if it is a cyclic amine, one of the carbons doesn't have a full valency (pls see attached file for a clearer idea).
Does anybody have any idea how to do this?

It needs to be a quternary ammonium salt.  You have it written as a tertiary amine.  Which is stable. 

This is not going to proceed in a typical Hofmann elimination giving a "Hofmann" olefin.

If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the precipitate
